The essence of living is the not living every moment thinking of the past or the future.
The essence of living is to enjoy each moment unchained to the past with no concern for the future.
It is not that you negate the past or never plan for the future but there are times when you should abandon yourself to the moment.
I’m like a Sybarite – my brain is hard-wired into my sensory perceptions. Each touch of my fingers on the soft flesh of my love brings exquisite pleasure; the thrill of texture and smoothness; of moisture and movement, to caress – to be caressed, is happiness beyond compare.
This is my heaven and I want no more – immortality does not attract or concern me for I can not conceive of an existence without my body; without its senses, without taste, without art, music and love, and the perfumes of life and the richness derived from them.

Yellow Over The Mountain
A cross-cultural masterpiece of Philosophy, love art and life. Yellow Over The Mountain is a brand new book by Peter Lay and Zaiming Wang, based on messages sent between each other, which transforms into a philosophical journey of life, love and art.
We all have many facets to our personality as people and this wonderful book transports you into a mythical world where parts of the ‘self’ become animals, people and plants and share a unique relationship with each other.
Yellow Over The Mountain is a unique new book, written in both English and Chinese. Share in the wonder of mythical characters and the human emotions of life, as two people correspond via messages across continents.
This is a book about the beginning of an unfinished journey to seek life through art. The journey began in June 2014 with an exchange of ideas by email. However, the words in this book have been mainly taken from text messages and emails between March and June 2016.
They become metaphorical and then personal, But that is life.
Still Tilting at Windmills
The Japanese poems are truly beautiful pieces, powerful, moving, and wonderfully written. I'm sat here drinking coffee and I'm lost for words.

Peter Lay’s words ‘…are spinning through my mind’
Sometimes beautiful… Sometimes weird… Always kind.
An altered perspective… A modern-day Don Quixote.
